About our bath resealing in Redruth
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Redruth and across Cornwall.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Redruth
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Redruth. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Redruth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Redruth, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Redruth
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Redruth?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
We cover the entire UK, including Redruth and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
When to call us in Redruth
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
